Hey guys, This is a subject I'm pretty fussy on. Mice; My long old friend my Logitech G7 is dying/dead. After having it for about 5 years now I dropped it about 6 months ago and broke the scroll wheel, Since then it has been getting worse like a retarded dog nearing the end of it's life span. Every now and again it decides to stop tracking until I unplug the dongle and plug back in or decides to double click instead of single once every 3-4 clicks.

SO. Time for a new one. What do you guys recommend? I'm pretty fussy and would like something exactly the same and I GUESS I could give wired a try. My G7 batteries still last a day of use each which isn't bad considering it's age. I like the looks of the Logitech G400, Not bothered about number of buttons as long as it has browser back, left and right click and a scroll wheel (which will be weird to start using again)

If you want cordless and an alternative to a Logitech (which are pretty good mice) you could look at the R.A.T. 9 which has two rechargeable batteries and you can customise the mouse to your hand and weight preferenceshttp://www.cyborggam...m/prod/rat9.htm

Might be expensive though, alternatively a R.A.T. 7 is also really good, but its corded, and cheaper

Edit. Your clicking issue is due to wear and tear on the switches used in the mouse buttons, all mice will suffer from this if they are used for long enough (depending on the quality of the micro switches) as its caused by "bounce" when the switch is "Clicked"

if you are handy with a soldering iron you could replace the switch yourself, however the other issues with the mouse kind of makes it a pointless exercise

I also have a G5, love it to death. But it is also dying. Sometimes when I turn the wheel it just keeps turning all the way until the screen or folder reaches the end. Am also looking at a new mouse.I tried the Touch Mouse T620, but don't like it. Haven't used for more than a day When you use the gestures from left to right, the mouse also moves, you have to hold it so that the mouse itself doesn't move on the pad. The problem is, you have to apply some pressure to it so that it registers, but it is enough to push the mouse away. It looked great in the box, but not very practical for me. Also, I noticed that it jumps a lot and isn't very precise. Maybe I have too much wireless signals messing up the connection.

Anyway, I also found the Logitech G line refresh (more in the link below) and will probably wait until they are available. The G500 looks the closest to my G5, don't care for all the programmable buttons, back and forth is enough for me.
